Josef Herman Art
Polish, 1911-2000
Polish-Jewish artist Josef Herman, sometimes better known as Joe Bach, was born in Warsaw, studied at the Warsaw School of Art and worked briefly as a printer and graphic designer. Upon leaving Poland for Brussels in 1938, he managed to escape the Nazi invasion of Belgium by fleeing to Great Britain. Herman lived in Glasgow for four years before moving to small-town Wales. However, his entire family was killed during the Holocaust.
Herman’s distinctive work was bold, diverse, sometimes colourful, and always politicized and engaged with the labouring people that surrounded him. From 1944 until 1955, Herman lived in the South Wales industrial town of Ystradgynlais, where the locals fondly nicknamed him “Joe Bach.” When commissioned to design and paint a mural for the iconic 1951 Festival of Britain, Joe Bach chose as his subject the Ystradgynlais miners. The resulting image represented six men in repose after a day’s toil and is now held at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea. Although the damp Welsh climate disagreed with his health and forced him to move briefly to the drier climes of Spain, Herman was awarded the Gold Medal for Fine Art at the 1962 Welsh National Eisteddfod.
Between 1955 and 1972, Herman and his wife Nini Ettinger lived in rural Suffolk. The untimely death of their young daughter caused the couple to move to London, where Herman remained working until his death. His work was honoured by election to the Royal Academy of Arts and the award of an OBE.

Pommes et raisins - Impressionist Still Life Oil Painting by Jeanne Baudot
Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire
Signed impressionist oil on canvas still life by French painter Jeanne Baudot. The work depicts a bowl filled with red and green apples and grapes.
Signature:
Signed upper left
Dimensions:
Framed: 33"x29"
Unframed: 26"x22"
Provenance:
By direct descent from Jeanne Baudot to her godson Jean Griot
Jeanne Baudot's father, Emile, was doctor to French artist Auguste Renoir's relatives when they lived in Louveciennes.
In 1893, she met Auguste Renoir through her cousin Paul Gallimard, an art collector. Renoir travelled from his studio in Montmartre to meet the aspiring painter and give his opinion on her work. Renoir was so impressed with what he saw that soon she became his only pupil.
Form 1897 to 1914, she lived at 4, Rue du Général Leclerc in Louveciennes, where Renoir had his workshop.
She became the godmother of Auguste Renoir's second son, Jean Renoir, at the Saint-Pierre de Montmartre church, while Georges Durand-Ruel was the godfather. Throughout her life she stayed close to Jean Renoir, who became a film director. He wrote the preface of the exhibition catalogue of her retrospective in 1960 at Galerie Durand-Ruel.
Auguste Renoir painted several portraits of Jeanne Baudot. They became great friends, accomplices and confidants. They painted side by side, in the studio of the painter, in the studio of Jeanne and outside, in the countryside, in Louveciennes, in the South and elsewhere, chatting cheerfully. He gave her advice, and shared his own concerns, such as those caused by his talks with the representatives of the State to make them accept the paintings bequeathed by Gustave Caillebotte.
Maurice Denis painted Auguste Renoir and Miss Jeanne Baudot in 1906.
Jeanne Baudot was a childhood friend of painter Julie Manet, the daughter of Berthe Morisot and Eugène Manet, and appears in many instances of Manet's diary.
Her name was given to a street in Louveciennes.
